Nick Jonas Review from the Beacon Theater

When Nick Jonas walks onstage at the Beacon Theatre, the sound is pure white noise, the sound of 3,000 tween screams ringing around the venue. Theoretically, the crowd is here to see the youngest Jonas’s new project, the Administration—the manifestation of his abiding affection for Minneapolis funk. But the reality, of course, is that the girls are here to see their teen idol; it probably wouldn’t make much difference if Jonas strode onstage dressed as Carmen Miranda and launched into a thrash-metal set.

Or would it? While the Administration is certainly a legit funk outfit, comprising members of Prince’s New Power Generation, the band’s sound is still fairly poppy. There’s some great guitar solo-ing, from both NPG man Sonny Thompson and Jonas himself, but it’s nothing too difficult to digest for JoBros fans. If Jonas wants to move on, he’s making no sudden moves.
